Improving access to electricity in Nigeria

How it will help

Plugging Africa’s power gap is crucial for its economic growth, and as the region’s biggest economy, Nigeria plays a critical role.

The 450 MW of power the Azura-Edo Independent Power Project will generate, will help support Nigeria's population growth; estimated to reach 230 million within the next 20 years, and create over 1,000 local jobs.
